HBO MAX new drama "Task" with Mark Ruffalo, wanna know why I can't enjoy it?

Cause there is no more FBI or department of justice or rule of law or law and order.

That is not an exaggeration it is a fact, so watching a show about trustworthy and honest FBI agents is fantasy now.

Nothing this country built and achieved now matters at all because of you scumbags a.k.a. MAGA. 😡

Oh and yes by the way what little I’ve been able to concentrate to watch of it of course it’s a very good show. Mark is always fantastic.

1. I understand. It's akin to find out that the Astronauts were perverted in a reality, regarding young girls.

3. What are you suggesting?

[chouchou]

8. That people would presume if a reality was as I said. If being the operative word.

Just sad if some of the so-called heroes are found out that reality is not what the populace might think...
Like Thomas Edison ..Christopher Columbus. (Both pretty much assholes)
You assumed I was trashing the Astronauts. No.

2. Had the same thought when I saw the trailer

It's like all these crime procedurals, especially federal ones, are historical, or in a different multiverse timeline.

4. Thank you and yes, how can we be expected to enjoy anything related to

World war, crime and punishment etc.

Anything related to any government institution whether it be the law related or science related etc. Education etc.

Everything this country accomplished and I mean everything is now in the toilet, even science and medicine is in the toilet, they’re going to throw all of that out, it’s fucking unbelievable.

The pieces of shit own the courts and even if the piece of shit in the White House has a deserved heart attack and dies today it will make zero difference. Everything is in place, this is never ending.

I will fight as if we can end it like everyone else including the virtual thing tonight that I will post a link to here, but it’s done.

This will ruin your day… not the part we’re Risking eviscerates this piece of shit but the reality of this piece of shit.

5. Agreed

There's a crack in reality, and over here on Earth 1 it's impossible to pretend everything is the same. William Gibson tried to deal with this in one of his novels, after Trump beat Clinton.


The William Gibson novel with a split timeline after the 2016 election is Agency. The book is a companion novel and "sequel and a prequel" to his 2014 novel, The Peripheral.
The novel's plot is split between two different "stubs," or alternate timelines:
A 2017 timeline where Hillary Clinton won the 2016 U.S. presidential election and Brexit did not happen. In this version of San Francisco, an app tester named Verity is hired to beta-test an advanced military-developed artificial intelligence named Eunice.
A post-apocalyptic 22nd-century timeline in London, after a series of cataclysms known as "the Jackpot" has killed 80% of humanity. Characters in this era use advanced technology to manipulate the past, interfering with events in Verity's 2017 timeline.
Gibson's decision to create this storyline came after he was surprised by the results of the actual 2016 election. He had already been writing the novel with a different near-future plot, but the election result forced him to completely rewrite the story and create an alternate 2017.

As for us, we love Mark Ruffalo (see Begin Again!) but just can't take mopey dramas anymore. We're more likely to re-watch The Crown, Masters of the Air, Shogun, etc.
